PREFACE.
The kindness of the Master and Fellows of Jesus College
enables me to lay before the public for the first time a
Catalogue of the Manuscripts belonging to the College. The
only previous attempt is a list of seven volumes in Thomas James’s
Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (1600, p. 137): reprinted by Ber-
nard in 1697 ; there is also a brief note in Halliwell’s Manuscript
Rarities of the University of Cambridge (1841, p. 173). Uffenbach
{Merkwilrdige Reisen, iii. 75) was unable to obtain access to the
manuscripts.
The collection is mainly the gift of one donor, Thomas Man
(B.A. 1674, M.A. 1678, M.D. 1687), Fellow of the College, and
Vicar of Northallerton (see no. 8). More than fifty manuscripts
were given by him, and a majority of these came from Durham
Priory. Other northern monasteries, e.g. Hexham, Rievaulx,
and Kirkstall, are also represented. Though not containing
anything of surpassing importance, the collection is an interesting
one enough. There is little good illuminated work, save in one
Bible (no. ii). The Medical MSS. are fairly numerous. Probably
the most attractive items in the Library are the early fragments in
no. 5, the English passages in no. 13, the palimpsest Anglo-Saxon
Homilies in no. 15, the Bury Formidae (no. 18), a French hymn
(no. 21), the Psalter (no. 23), the Priscian (no. 28), the Rievaulx
Catalogue (no. 34), the French Lapidaire (no. 44^), the Story of
the Death of Judas (no. 46), the Wyclififite Gospels and New
Testament (nos. 30, 47), the Obituary Roll in no. 55, Lydgate and
* This Lapidaire does not correspond with any of the texts printed by M. L. Panier
in the Bibliothique des Hautes Etudes.
Vlll PREFACE.
Cato (no. 56), a list of books in no. 57, and the Chronicles (no. 58).
As a specimen of writing, the volume by the scribe Emylton
(no. 70) is very noteworthy.
On the remarkable and beautiful room in which the manu-
scripts are preserved, the reader should consult Willis and Clark’s
Architectural History of the University of Cambridge (ii. 165,
iii. 460).
I should like, in conclusion, to express my particular obliga-
tions to the Librarian of the College, the Rev. F. J. Foakes-
Jackson, who has been most kind in affording me access to the
manuscripts under his charge.

The Litany has been very oddly treated. The original names of the Saints invoked
after See Clemens have been rewritten in the xvth century, and extended to the full
Sarum form for the days of the week. This has necessitated the insertion of an extra
leaf, f. 9* of quire h : the verso of f. 78 being entirely palimpsest. The original list of
Saints ended at f. 78 a, col. 2, 3 lines from the bottom : the Saints now occupy the whole
of f. 78 and col. i of f. 79. It is not possible at present to determine the original names.
The Sequences on f. 8 1 sqq. have musical notes on a 4-line stave for the first verse of
each. There are two for S. Augustine, Magne pater Augustme and Cell dues applaudiie,
which indicate that the book was for use in an Augustinian house.
On f. 95 b is the poem :
Virgo gaude digna laude templum sancti spiritus.
Que nature uicto iure concepisti celitus.
In 68 11.
Then follow 7 lines:
Gaude uirgo gloriosa uerbum uerbo concepisti
Gaude tellus fructuosa uite fructum protulisti.
The fly-leaf at the end is from a Missal of cent, xiii, in double columns of 30 lines
each, containing Proper Prefaces for Easter, etc.

¥. i a has a border of French-Flemish work, the style of which
is later than that of the rest of the ornamental work. It is divided
into triangles with grounds of fluid gold, blue and red, with flowers
and flourishes. There is also a miniature, occupying three-fourths
of the text-space, of the Descent of the Holy Ghost : the Virgin
and 17 others are kneeling in a room : above are the Father and
Son throned, probably sending down the Dove. This part of the
painting has been partly erased. The style of it is very bad. In
the lower margin are these arms. Quarterly azure and gules, four
lions or rampant gardant. On a chief argent wavy, 3 besants sable.
Throughout the book, at the L. of each column, is a kind of orna-
ment topped with a fleur-de-lys alternately gold and blue, and
with demi fleurs-de-lys, alternately gold and blue, springing out of

Possibly it may be one of two Priscians left by Bp Hugo Pudsey in 1195 (1. c. 118).

Ending imperfectly :
si penultimam correptam habent ante penultimam.
The ornaments of the book, such as they are, are interesting.
The initial to the whole work (f. i b) is of white and blue on a red
ground, and contains a picture in outline of Priscian in a pointed
cap and embroidered dress, writing at a desk, on a scroll inscribed :
Sum romanoram corrector grammaticorum.
The initial to book viii is better drawn and better preserved :
the colours used are the same. In it a boy in tunic and blue shoes
is climbing among the interlacements. The tract de accentibiis has
a very Celtic initial, with plaited work.
It may be of interest to add some notice of the Greek alphabet
and numerals which appear on f i a. They are arranged in this

The almost illegible lower half of the page is, partly at least, in French (cent, xiii,
early). In the first line (about the middle) I can read :

The last part is in Latin ; the last line but one begins, et pedes crucifixi.

It was no doubt written at Durham College, Oxford (see the

the two inscriptions is certainly a Durham one. The book does
not occur in the Catt. Vett.

It is perhaps worth remarking that the comparatively small amount of secular
literature which the list contains was probably a common feature in Cistercian Libraries,
at least in the early days of the order.

Mirabiliter oriri cepit saiicta arbor de tribus uirgulis composila. Prima erat Cipr^s-
sina alia Cedrina et Pini speciem habuit tertia. Cypressus patrem Cedrus filium
Pinus spiritum sanctum significat de quibus facta est christi (crux) adoranda. Et
mirabilius in terra stetit usque ad tempus Dauid regis nichil crescens nec uiriditatem
nec foliorum teneritudinem perdens set per omnia sic permansit sicut primo Moisi
apparuit donee sanctus Dauid meruit illam de loco transferre et in orto suo reponere.
Jbi erat ilia crescens ut xxx*^ annis efficeretur arbor grandis ; hec inter omnes arbor
uua nobilis. Ex illis tribus uirgulis creuit quas dei amicus Moyses a sompno excitatus
circa se reperit exortas per tres noctes continuas quas dei amicus deo dilectus Dauyd
ad lerusalem detulit: ibi in viridario suo collocatus per annos xxx*^ coluit. et unoquoque
anno in illarum summitate unum argenteum circulum innexuit. Et reliquos inferius
innexos dilatauit ut arbor dilataretur in grossum et extenderetur in longum. ille uirgule
continuatara habentes uiriditatem in unam simiLw concreuerunt arborem. Que arbor mire
suauitatis erat in estate et yeme immarcescibiles fr(7«[i35]dium flores protulit. Tempore
peracto laudabilis arbor cedris libani omnibus sublimior iussu regis Salamonis succisa
est ad edificacionem templi et cum nullo modo coaptari poterit et coequari, in cruci-
fixionem tantummodo corporis Christi digna fuit coaptari in qua uita mundi pependit,
in qua Christus triumphauit. Et xxx‘“ aureos circulos in templo suspensos uesani
acceperunt ludei et dederunt infelici lude pro tradicione domini nostri ut esset ueraciter
impletum quod dicitur per prophetam : Apprehenderunt mercedem xxx^'^ argenteis quos
appreciatus (sum) ab eis. Et in passione domini secundum mathei rowposicionem de eodem
infelici luda scriptum est quod adiret principes sacerdotum et inquireret ab eis precium
nostri saluatoris ita inquiens. Quid uultis mihi dare et ego eum uobis tradam. At illi
constituerunt ei xxx*“ argenteos, illos uidelicet predictos circulos qui templo pendebant,
quos communiter possidebant et quos infelix ludas accepit pro tradicione domini nostri.
Et uendito Ihesu Christo rediit ad domum suam et retulit matri sue per ordinem
quomodo tradidit dominum Audiens autem eius mater quod ab eo traditus esset in
furorem conversa est et lacrimata est dicens. Heu me miseram qui te genui celeratum
filium. Quid tibi et iusto illi ? Quare infelix iustum et sanctum tradere uoluisti. Nunc
ergo absque dubitacione omnes maledicciones implebuntur in te <que> [135 per
prophetam ita sunt scripte ffiant filii eius orphani et uxor eius uidua et cetera que
secuntur in illo psalmo. Non enim ut estimas filium hominis tradidisti sed unigenitum
dei filium et ecce a te sanguis eius exquisitus et tu reus mortis eius extiteris. vere de
illo propheta dicit Filius hominis uadit sicut scriptum est de eo : ue illi per quern
traditus fuerit. Nunc ergo fili doloris mei quid actunis quid dicturus eris dum ueritatis
prophetam a mortuis resurrexisse cognoueris? Ad uocem igitur lacrimose matris in
iracundiam prouocatus ludas respexit ad focum uiditque super eum ollam feruentem
stantem et in ea semicoctum gallum iacentem, clamauitque ad matrem suam. Quomodo
in tantum deuenisti errorem ut ilium amentem dicas fuisse prophetam atque a mortuis
aliquem resurrecturum ? Ego autem per maximum afiirmo iuramentum quod de ista
poterit olla facilius hie depilatus exire gallus quam resurgere a mortuis ille crucifixus.
Hec dum infelix ganniret et ad modum wlpis clamaret ludas, semicoctus gallus effectus
est rediuiuus et protinus de feruenti olla exiliens apparuit pulcherimus pennisque et plumis
restitutus et uolauit super tecta domus ibique diu mansit ouans et gaudens quasi
pronunciaret tempus resurrectionis christi. Affirmat ergo edi[i36]cio grecorum hunc
eundem extitisse gallum qui eadem nocte cum cantando Petram arguit negantem. super

The writer excuses himself for having left Hughes’s letter so
long unanswered, on the ground that for 12 years he had been
studying Law, and had forgotten his Latin. He then makes the
offer of this MS., which he had inherited from his father, once
Hughes’s tutor; the letter is dated E Tuguriolo nostro Sueniae
iuxta Oswestriam Salopiae Calend. Februarii 1594.
Hughes continues;
Atqui ut hunc publici iuris facerem et huic sedi literariae dedicarem, quern mihi
ad priuatum studiorum usum dedit Hanmerus mens, impulit imprimis pietas mea in hanc
nutricem meam, cui me meaque omnia debere profiteor ingenue : necnon imperauit

prose, imperfect at the beginning. Partly edited by Stevenson
for the Maitland Club. The principal MS. is at Corpus
Christi (Cambridge), no. 132 . . . . . . f. i a
The present copy is imperfect at the beginning. The first words
are drount a brut de loranguise et del seruage. The first
rubric (f. 49) is comment les deux freres mamp'z et Maulin
estriuerent pour la terre.
This copy goes down to the death of Henry III. in 1272. The
Corpus MS. ends in 1362.
2. A chronicle in Latin beginning in the year 1042 and ending
(imperfectly) with the death of Simon de Montfort . . ^\a
The last quire is misbound : ff. 83, 84 are turned round : the true
order is f. 82, 84 iJ, 84 a, 83 83 a, 85-87.
Elizabeth pigott (xvi) is on the margin of f. 40 a.
Thomas pigott est verus posser (sic) huius libri, f. 53 a.
This Chronicle is extracted from the important Annals of
Waverley, a Cistercian house near P'arnham. These Annals
were edited by Dr Luard for the Rolls Series from the MS. in
the Cottonian Collection.
The present text is shorter and begins at a later date, but the
source is unmistakeable : cf. a MS. at Magd. Coll. Oxford,
(no. cxcix.)*.
The text begins on p. 180, ed. Luard, and ends with the words
Henrici filij, p. 365, ed. Luard.

Given by Mr Man.
Binding : a leaf of a folio Psalter in double columns, cent, xiii,
the same book in which nos. 20 and 25 are bound. The fly-leaves are
from the smaller Psalter, which has been used to bind Q. G. 4 and 5.
At the beginning is the middle sheet of a quire containing parts of
Pss. xli. (xiii.) ytidica me — xliv. (xlv.) Deus auribus. At the end is
a sheet containing parts of Pss. xxxiii. Ex7Utate iusti, xxxvi. Noli
emulari.
The provenance of this and the other books in which fragments
of this Psalter recur is probably Durham.
This is probably the volume described on p. 25 of Call. Vett.
